  • I was up late at night doing this as well and the "All of the above" threw me as well. Unfortunately none closer than 200 miles to me (400 return) but seems to be plenty in the South East.

    It was showing no jobs available at all. Not even in the south east which is where I am!! ??

    I think there are age restrictions on these (not sure how old you are?)

    I would also add that I know of at least 6 people who have just registered with them in the last few days so possibly they have been taken? Quite a few of us on here have just registered looking at the recent posts as well.

    Hope that helps?:)

    Could someone who has completed the test just do me a favour and check if there are any jobs in the BT postcode.....my brain is struggling just to keep my world still at the moment and would really rather leave tests for another day!

    Thanks

    I didn't see any for BT (Northern Ireland?) area. hth:)

    You have to add the clients to your account, under "Pre-assign"

    Only 1 job showing for me in SE
  • OMG I am soooo bored. There is no work to be had. I do get a regular allocation of MS phone calls each week but I like to go out and do visits and there are just none to be had :(

    I was suppose to do my RE test visit today to see how long the assignment would take from start to finish so I could work out the hourly rate. Well, I just couldn't be bothered in the end and cancelled it. Once I realised that the visit would actually cost me money (petrol, parking) I decided against it. In the end I would have ended up with a product worth something under a tenner but less £4 petrol and £1 parking and 2-3 hours of my time I decided against it. It just aint worth it.

    I've just checked again for you and there are still loads of the "Elderley" ones throughout the UK - but you have to put United Kingdom from the drop down list - not Great Britain for some reason as that shows no jobs available!!

    You can Pre-Assign jobs for when they become available & they will email you if there is one in the area you've chosen.

    I've still got Ice Cream places & a phone company down in my pre-assign list from almost two years ago - and I think I've only ever got two emails from them & I was away so couldn't do them anyway.

    You have let me down.;) I was really looking forward to seeing the outcome. I just cannot understand your reluctance to continue with the assignment. :rotfl:

    The ice cream jobs (and the cookie jobs) have gone elsewhere. I am led to believe that the phone company programme has ended! There is really not much on CRI for me at the mo, but the care home jobs are lucrative: as I've said before, the fees are creeping up and by next week a lot of them may well be quite impressive! :):)

    Edit: By the way, CRI no longer seem to email when pre-assigned jobs come up!
